Chapter 13

                                    

                                          
Marinette was finally told everything to Luka about the mission to the stone. Then her confession about the kiss and what it meant.
                          
"Luka I don't know what going on with me." 
                          
"Marinette nothing wrong with you," Luka says as held her in an embrace. "But there's something I need to know, for this to work... Are you in love with him?"
                          
"Luka..."
                          
"Please be honest."
                          
"I'm sorry." Marinette bowed her head in guilt "I do. I love him."
                          
Luka sniffled, and the noise reflexively drew Marinette's gaze. He had brought a hand to cover his face, but she knew that behind it must have been tears. "Luka. I'm sorry, so sorry. I- there's really no excuse."
                          
"There is. Love will always conquer all." Luka replied tensely. "Believe me, Mari, I know. It doesn't make it better, but I do understand... and I want you both to be happy. Even now." His voice was rough with emotion, which didn't change as he continued, "I thought maybe I had the chance."
                          
"You're not mad?"
                          
"I know your emotions and they were always stronger towards Adrien. You will still be my forever muse. You are an incredible person."
                          
"Thank you, Luka, but sadly you didn't come here for a break. So what happened."
                          
"I could always use a friend." He smiled, "He came back."

                          

"How was it to see him?" Marinette comforted him knowing well who came to see him.
                          
"He doesn't care. I hate him. Why did he even come back?" Luke cried out.
                          
"What did your dad say?"
                          
"He had a conversation with my mom before I came in...
                          
"Is that any way to treat your husband?" The man asked while patronizingly Anarka.
                          
"You are not my husband. You gave up that title the moment you walked out of this house and never made any way to contact me or your children !" She raged in a trembling voice.
                          
"Speaking of which, where is Luka? I wanted to talk to him since Julie won't talk." The man looked around the kitchen quizzically, hoping Anarka would take the hint and just let him speak with his son.
                          
"It's Juleka!" She yelled, "You don't even know your daughter's name. You walked out on us! You walked out on him! What RIGHT do you have? Tell me, have you been here these past ten years? Where were you when he nearly got thrown into the juvenile hall? Where were you when he became an agent? Where were you when Luka graduated high school? You were barely around for the best years of their childhood, you left during his teenage life, and the same for Juleka, you missed him growing up into a man, and now you just show up expecting us all to be glad that you're back?!" Shaking with rage, she pointed a hand towards the door. "Get out. Get out and don't you dare come back." He opened his mouth to speak but Anarka shook her head.
                          
"I'll leave but where is Luka so I can find him."
                          
"Right here." His father turns to see Luka walking to drop his guitar,  Luka leads him to the deck and sat at the helm, "What do you want?"
                          
"I wanted to talk to your mom. But she right, I have no right to be."
                          
"No, you don't.
